The FM45 is Fit<br />

for 4PPoE<br />

030.5930<br />

Strong and versatile like a Swiss multitool. That is how installers rate R&M’s FM45.<br />

The field-mountable RJ45 connector is suitable for virtually every area of application.<br />

And now it is proving that it can master even the toughest Power over Ethernet.<br />

R&M has subjected the field-mountable RJ45<br />

connector FM45 to a further endurance<br />

test. It had to prove that it was suitable for<br />

transmitting high electrical power on all four<br />

twisted pairs. The result: The FM45 passed<br />

the test with flying colors and has been<br />

awarded the PowerSafe quality seal. With<br />

this quality label, R&M guarantees that a<br />

particular cabling product is suitable for PoE<br />

applications.<br />

The new four-pair Power over Ethernet<br />

(4PPoE) takes twisted-pair copper cabling<br />

to its technical limits. When using 4PPoE,<br />

the local data network will in future supply<br />

end devices with up to 90 Watts of electrical<br />

power. Cables and cable bundles can heat up<br />

because of this and lose their good performance.<br />

Contact resistance can increase in the<br />

case of poor-quality contacts in the wiring.<br />

The insulation displacement contact (IDC)<br />

technology also used in the FM45 by R&M<br />

excludes such risks. R&M recommends the<br />

IDC connection as the one and only basis for<br />

using Power over Ethernet with high currents<br />

in continuous operation.<br />

Incidentally, the FM45 was already PoE-capable<br />

when it was launched more than<br />

ten years ago. The tin-coated R&M IDCs<br />

guarantee gas-tight, vibration-resistant and<br />

corrosion-protected wiring with tensile<br />

strength and long-term stability. They are<br />

perfect for PoE applications.<br />

030.5870<br />

All FM45 models from Cat. 5e to Cat. 6 A<br />

now<br />

feature the combined A/B wiring possibility.<br />

The range is thus being condensed. It covers<br />

both shielded and unshielded versions. Apart<br />

from that, R&M makes it possible to use the<br />

FM45 outdoors and in industry.<br />

030.5875<br />

The FM45 family continues to grow. R&M is<br />

now launching a version of the unshielded,<br />

angled Cat. 6 A<br />

connector. It has the same<br />

housing as the tried and tested Cat. 5e<br />

connector. The new, unshielded and angled<br />

FM45 Cat. 6 A<br />

is suitable for simpler network<br />

installations and direct connections.<br />
